through translator
it says they will ship with the quadro 2500, not the 4500, and teh screen will be reminiscent of the m170, and it'll have the case cover similar to the m170, but without the "cap flashy" [i assume this means no config'able led lights..]

My dell chat, M=me, D=Dell:

M: Welcome mini ...
D: Connecting to server. Please wait...
D: Thank you for using Dell Chat, a representative will be with you soon.
M: Initial Question/Comment: Should I wait to buy top of the line inspiron?
D: You are now being connected to an agent. Thank you for using Dell Chat
D: Connected with CU_Rep_...
D: Welcome to Dell Sales Chat. My name is .... I'll be your personal sales agent today, give me a moment to review your concern. Please, don't go away.
M: Not satisfied with the ATI X1400 option in 9400/e1705
I want a Core Duo processor, so XPS M170 not an option.
D: Hi mini, I see, we do not have any information as to when the Nvidia will be offered again for the Inspiron 1705.
Currently, thus, Dell offers me nothing :-( What about the XPS line? Core Duo?
D: I understand, I wish I could say when the offer will be there.
M: Is there any point in waiting at all?
D: We are not sure if the marketing people are waiting for the Vista operating system to hit the market before re aligning the computer features.
M: That would be in January, I suppose... Couldn't wait that long....
D: Well, we feel it maybe around the corner.
M: Would you recommend me to wait a few weeks before buying a notebook?
D: Yes, 2 weeks.

Maybe he referred to the Precisions. But I don't think he'd believe that they would be an option for me...

Is it possible that XPS shares chassi with M90 and not 9400? Hmm...

Or he referred to the Latitudes. Lots of stuff happening as DarthPierce noted.

Interesting French speculation on this site.

Among other things:
  • M90 looks disturbingly like the XPS minus some flashyness.
  • M90 will be based on Quadro FX 2500, which is go 7900 GTX-based
  • T2700 (2.33 GHz) is due in April
  • More...
All in all - I'm guessing M90 and XPS M1710 will be out in two-three weeks, will be very similar, and offer T2700, Go7900GTX/QuadroFX2500 and 4Gb RAM.

So they fit a 2nd hard drive in the 15.4" model but not in the 17" model? That's going to be quite a toss up for some people. And both PCMCIA and ExpressCard slots in the 15.4" model. I have a feeling that guy is full of crap.

Did you look at the M65 PDF?

Looks genuine to me. The M90 PDF is here.

I can only read so much in foreign languages before my head swells, I'll look at it later.

Horrible, just horrible. The M70 was the ONLY 15.4" laptop with good graphics. Now NO decent 15.4" laptops have good graphics

Does he know when the Duo 700m replacement is coming out? The hardware packed into that machine is really getting dated now.

I agree,at best a midrange 7600go based card in the M65,not exactly the jump in performance over the M70 one would have hoped for considering the Quadro 1400 was based on the top tier card of its time,once again Dell is trying to push everybody who wants top of the line graphics into 17" ers.

I really wish I hadn't sold my M70 now.
